Dr. Aditi Rao is the founding chair of the ethics review board for the Cognitive Systems Division established under the Aegis Protocol Charter (2089) at Luna Research Dome 3. The board holds authority to halt any development milestone of the Oracle core pending review.
Her appointment, alongside the independently-staffed Recursive Safety Panel, reflects the Charter’s institutional design choice to create redundant oversight rather than a single point of institutional failure — a structural response to the finding, cited in the Charter’s preamble, that “existing human decision-making structures cannot reliably act on warnings they are capable of generating.”
